By offering customers a complete, co-optimized solution, SENZ will shorten time to market and reduce manufacturing complexity, while enabling more flexible product designs and best-in-class user experiences.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, the smart glasses market has been constrained by fragmented supply chains and inconsistent components. SENZ will address this issue by providing all core visual components as a single, self-contained system, thereby eliminating the traditional technical trade-offs between performance and form factor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Smart glasses put people at the center of technological progress and are transforming the way people interact with the world and with each other. To deliver the best user experiences, we must achieve a new level of technical excellence that quickly and easily brings together hardware, software, connectivity, and developer innovation,&#8221; said , Vice President and General Manager of the Photonics Platforms business unit at Applied Materials. &#8220;Building on Applied Materials\u2019 tradition of delivering advanced technology solutions at scale, SENZ\u2122 combines industry-leading waveguide technology and our advanced device manufacturing capabilities into an integrated, co-optimized platform designed to help our customers bring exciting experiences to market faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brand partners can now develop customized products using SENZ system solutions and reference designs. Key partnerships supporting the launch of SENZ include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A strategic collaboration with GlobalFoundries that enables Applied Materials to produce its waveguides at scale using GF\u2019s high-volume manufacturing facility in [location];<\/li>\n<li>A collaboration under \u201cSnapdragon START,\u201d in which we contribute our technical excellence in design and manufacturing to support next-generation AI-powered smart glasses;<\/li>\n<li>A joint development program with EssilorLuxottica to accelerate the commercialization of next-generation smart optical systems for augmented reality and AI-powered smart glasses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"\">Forward-Looking Statements<\/h3>\n<p>This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the development and commercialization of new technologies, as well as other statements that are not historical facts.
